Gooey Effect

When the Pokemon is hit by an attack, there is a set chance it will spread slime around itself. The slime deals damage to opposing Pokemon and applies a Gooey slowing effect for them for a short time. The Gooey slowing effect decreases movement speed and can stack up to four (4) times per opposing Pokemon. When the Pokemon with this Ability enters tall grass, it continually recovers HP for 3 seconds or until it leaves the tall grass. Goodra will continue recovering HP when it re-enters grass during the active duration. This HP recovery effect goes on a 12-second cooldown after it's triggered. It will also cancel when Goodra receives damage or attacks an opponent.

Health Recovery is Proportional to Missing Health

After doing multiple tests, it seems that Goodra's health recovery from Gooey is proportional to the missing health. The more health missing, the more healing Goodra will receive!

The tests were conducted with a Level 15 Goodra with 10,250 Health.

How to Use Gooey

Utilize the Healing Effect

Whenever Goodra enters grass, it can heal itself for a considerable amount. Utilize this effect to stay alive longer in fights or avoid having to go back to base to heal up.

Avoid Damage

It's best to avoid getting damaged while the healing effect is active, since the effect stops when Goodra is damaged. Make sure Goodra is far enough from enemies to ensure the healing effect does not get cancelled.

Stay Close to Multiple Opponents

Since there is a chance that Goodra will spread slime around itself whenever it takes hits, it's best to stay close to as many opponents as possible to maximize the effect. Doing so not only damages the affected opponents, it will also slow them.

Gooey Patch History

1.9.2.8 Effect duration bug fix.
1.17.2.8 Movement speed reduction increased from 8% to 10%.
1.11.1.3 Attack speed reduction effect increased from 30% to 50%. (+20%)
